Pin Up-------------------------------------------------------------
Wholesome images of scantily clad women involved in daily activities or occasionally just lounging around. These pictures can be either photographs or paintings. Artists such as Gil Elvgren, Alberto Vargas, and Olivia De Berardinis, to name a few, have mastered this amusing style of art. Through them a more modern offshoot of the pin up has formed through artists such as Boris Vallejo, Luis Royo, Dorian Cleavenger, and Julie Bell. Their styles are a little darker in nature and tend to have a fantasy base to them. An even newer style of pin up has arrived within the past twenty years that has a more comic book style to it such as the work of Garrett Blair and countless other comic pin up artists.

Polish Falcon-----------------------------------------------------
This gothic styled bird is quite often worn by those of the, you guessed it, Polish nationality. It is also a fraternal organization for, once again, Polish people. This eagle/falcon (depending on who you ask) is from the coat of arms for the country of Poland.
